Type of the genus : Euexia percnopus sp. nov. 



Belongs to the Plegapteryx group ; the only other genus thereof witli V. of the 

 forewing free is Yu'ena Walk. (= Lysopten/x Bryk.), which is certainly related to 

 Euexia, bnt ditl'crs so essentially in shape, besides its flatter face and more oblique 

 DC ; of forewing, that a new genus is called for. 



132. Euexia percnopus sp. nov. 



cJ, 36-40 mm. Face red (in dark examples mixed wirh black). Paipns deej) 

 fulvous mixed with red (terminal joint sometimes with black). Vertex and 

 autennal shaft white, strongly mi.xed with purplish and sometimes with reddish, 

 iimer edge of antennal shaft remaining white proximally. Thorax, abdomen, 

 femora and tibiae concolorons with wings ; tarsi dark pnrple-fuseons. 



Forewinff variable in colour, in the type bright deep fulvous, strongly mixed in 

 proximal and distal areas with purplish, in an aberration dull olive-green in the 

 median area, of a more nondescript shade (due to the admixture of the olive with 

 purplish) in the proximal and distal ; cell-dot small, black ; lines fine, separating 

 the colour areas ; antemedian at nearly one-third, with angles outward near both 

 margins and an outward curve in middle ; postmedian from four-fifths costa, very 

 oblique outwards, strongly recurved at SC*, then nearly straight to two-thirds 

 hindmargin ; a whitish costal mark distally to postmedian ; a pale spot at apex ; 



fringe concolorons with median area. Ilindtving with the median area greatly 



narrowed, sometimes further constricted on fold, typically light green, sometimes 

 .scarcely differentiated in colour ; sometimes faint traces of a narrow dark shade 

 distally to the postmedian. 



Underside bright fulvous, with sparse but coarse purplish irroration, distal 

 area of forewing strongly, of hindwing more mixed with purplish ; lines dull dark 

 purplish, the antemedian placed much nearer the base than above, obsolete at costa ; 

 forewing with the apical spot white. 



Congella, Durban, January 1905, December 30, 1904, December 22, 1908 

 (G. F. Leigh), type and two darker in coll. Rothschild. AVhite River, Transvaal, 

 December 9, 1909 (A. T. Cooke), a S in coll. Brit. Mus., intermediate in colour. 

 Mambora, German East Africa (Dr. Baxter), a <? in coll. Rothschild quite agreeing 

 with type. 



133. Sphingomima viriosa sp. nov. 



(?, 44 mm. Face strongly protuberant, sloping. Paipns about one-and-a-half 

 times diameter of eye, not relatively very stout. Antennal pectinations long. Face, 

 jjalpus, thorax and abdomen concolorons with wings. Vertex and antennal shaft 

 pinkish white, marked with darker reddish. Legs marked witii jjurple-fuscous, 

 the tarsi almost wholly of this colour. 



Forewing with the excision in termen less deep than in S. cinereomarginata 

 HoU. {Ent. News iv. 175) ; R' only very shortly stalked witii SC^-^ ; warm, bright 

 brown with a tinge of olivaceous, posterior half of distal area more mixed with
